.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
command configures
.Tn ZFS
datasets within a
.Tn ZFS
storage pool, as described in
.Xr zpool 8 .
A dataset is identified by a unique path within the
.Tn ZFS
namespace. For example:
.Bd -ragged -offset 4n
.No pool/ Ns Brq filesystem,volume,snapshot
.Ed
.Pp
where the maximum length of a dataset name is
.Dv MAXNAMELEN
(256 bytes).
.Pp
A dataset can be one of the following:
.Bl -hang -width 12n
.It Sy file system
A
.Tn ZFS
dataset of type
.Em filesystem
can be mounted within the standard system namespace and behaves like other file
systems. While
.Tn ZFS
file systems are designed to be
.Tn POSIX
compliant, known issues exist that prevent compliance in some cases.
Applications that depend on standards conformance might fail due to nonstandard
behavior when checking file system free space.
.It Sy volume
A logical volume exported as a raw or block device. This type of dataset should
only be used under special circumstances. File systems are typically used in
most environments.
.It Sy snapshot
A read-only version of a file system or volume at a given point in time. It is
specified as
.Em filesystem@name
or
.Em volume@name .
.El
.Ss ZFS File System Hierarchy
A
.Tn ZFS
storage pool is a logical collection of devices that provide space for
datasets. A storage pool is also the root of the
.Tn ZFS
file system hierarchy.
.Pp
The root of the pool can be accessed as a file system, such as mounting and
unmounting, taking snapshots, and setting properties. The physical storage
characteristics, however, are managed by the
.Xr zpool 8
command.
.Pp
See
.Xr zpool 8
for more information on creating and administering pools.
.Ss Snapshots
A snapshot is a read-only copy of a file system or volume. Snapshots can be
created extremely quickly, and initially consume no additional space within the
pool. As data within the active dataset changes, the snapshot consumes more
data than would otherwise be shared with the active dataset.
.Pp
Snapshots can have arbitrary names. Snapshots of volumes can be cloned or
rolled back, but cannot be accessed independently.
.Pp
File system snapshots can be accessed under the
.Pa \&.zfs/snapshot
directory in the root of the file system. Snapshots are automatically mounted
on demand and may be unmounted at regular intervals. The visibility of the
.Pa \&.zfs
directory can be controlled by the
.Sy snapdir
property.
.Ss Clones
A clone is a writable volume or file system whose initial contents are the same
as another dataset. As with snapshots, creating a clone is nearly
instantaneous, and initially consumes no additional space.
.Pp
Clones can only be created from a snapshot. When a snapshot is cloned, it
creates an implicit dependency between the parent and child. Even though the
clone is created somewhere else in the dataset hierarchy, the original snapshot
cannot be destroyed as long as a clone exists. The
.Sy origin
property exposes this dependency, and the
.Cm destroy
command lists any such dependencies, if they exist.
.Pp
The clone parent-child dependency relationship can be reversed by using the
.Cm promote
subcommand. This causes the "origin" file system to become a clone of the
specified file system, which makes it possible to destroy the file system that
the clone was created from.
.Ss Mount Points
Creating a
.Tn ZFS
file system is a simple operation, so the number of file systems per system is
likely to be numerous. To cope with this,
.Tn ZFS
automatically manages mounting and unmounting file systems without the need to
edit the
.Pa /etc/fstab
file. All automatically managed file systems are mounted by
.Tn ZFS
at boot time.
.Pp
By default, file systems are mounted under
.Pa /path ,
where
.Ar path
is the name of the file system in the
.Tn ZFS
namespace. Directories are created and destroyed as needed.
.Pp
A file system can also have a mount point set in the
.Sy mountpoint
property. This directory is created as needed, and
.Tn ZFS
automatically mounts the file system when the
.Qq Nm Cm mount Fl a
command is invoked (without editing
.Pa /etc/fstab ) .
The
.Sy mountpoint
property can be inherited, so if
.Em pool/home
has a mount point of
.Pa /home ,
then
.Em pool/home/user
automatically inherits a mount point of
.Pa /home/user .
.Pp
A file system
.Sy mountpoint
property of
.Cm none
prevents the file system from being mounted.
.Pp
If needed,
.Tn ZFS
file systems can also be managed with traditional tools
.Pq Xr mount 8 , Xr umount 8 , Xr fstab 5 .
If a file system's mount point is set to
.Cm legacy ,
.Tn ZFS
makes no attempt to manage the file system, and the administrator is
responsible for mounting and unmounting the file system.
.Ss Jails
.No A Tn ZFS
dataset can be attached to a jail by using the
.Qq Nm Cm jail
subcommand. You cannot attach a dataset to one jail and the children of the
same dataset to another jails. To allow management of the dataset from within
a jail, the
.Sy jailed
property has to be set and the jail needs access to the
.Pa /dev/zfs
device. The
.Sy quota
property cannot be changed from within a jail. See
.Xr jail 8
for information on how to allow mounting
.Tn ZFS
datasets from within a jail.
.Pp
.No A Tn ZFS
dataset can be detached from a jail using the
.Qq Nm Cm unjail
subcommand.
.Pp
After a dataset is attached to a jail and the jailed property is set, a jailed
file system cannot be mounted outside the jail, since the jail administrator
might have set the mount point to an unacceptable value.
.Ss Deduplication
Deduplication is the process for removing redundant data at the block-level,
reducing the total amount of data stored. If a file system has the
.Cm dedup
property enabled, duplicate data blocks are removed synchronously. The result
is that only unique data is stored and common components are shared among
files.
.Ss Native Properties
Properties are divided into two types, native properties and user-defined (or
"user") properties. Native properties either export internal statistics or
control
.Tn ZFS
behavior. In addition, native properties are either editable or read-only. User
properties have no effect on
.Tn ZFS
behavior, but you can use them to annotate datasets in a way that is meaningful
in your environment. For more information about user properties, see the
.Qq Sx User Properties
section, below.
.Pp
Every dataset has a set of properties that export statistics about the dataset
as well as control various behaviors. Properties are inherited from the parent
unless overridden by the child. Some properties apply only to certain types of
datasets (file systems, volumes, or snapshots).
.Pp
The values of numeric properties can be specified using human-readable suffixes
(for example,
.Sy k , KB , M , Gb ,
and so forth, up to
.Sy Z
for zettabyte). The following are all valid (and equal) specifications:
.Bd -ragged -offset 4n
1536M, 1.5g, 1.50GB
.Ed
.Pp
The values of non-numeric properties are case sensitive and must be lowercase,
except for
.Sy mountpoint , sharenfs , No and Sy sharesmb .
.Pp
The following native properties consist of read-only statistics about the
dataset. These properties can be neither set, nor inherited. Native properties
apply to all dataset types unless otherwise noted.
.Bl -tag -width 2n
.It Sy available
The amount of space available to the dataset and all its children, assuming
that there is no other activity in the pool. Because space is shared within a
pool, availability can be limited by any number of factors, including physical
pool size, quotas, reservations, or other datasets within the pool.
.Pp
This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
.Sy avail .
.It Sy compressratio
For non-snapshots, the compression ratio achieved for the
.Sy used
space of this dataset, expressed as a multiplier.  The
.Sy used
property includes descendant datasets, and, for clones, does not include
the space shared with the origin snapshot.  For snapshots, the
.Sy compressratio
is the same as the
.Sy refcompressratio
property. Compression can be turned on by running:
.Qq Nm Cm set compression=on Ar dataset
The default value is
.Cm off .
.It Sy creation
The time this dataset was created.
.It Sy clones
For snapshots, this property is a comma-separated list of filesystems or
volumes which are clones of this snapshot.  The clones'
.Sy origin
property is this snapshot.  If the
.Sy clones
property is not empty, then this snapshot can not be destroyed (even with the
.Fl r
or
.Fl f
options).
.It Sy defer_destroy
This property is
.Cm on
if the snapshot has been marked for deferred destroy by using the
.Qq Nm Cm destroy -d
command. Otherwise, the property is
.Cm off .
.It Sy mounted
For file systems, indicates whether the file system is currently mounted. This
property can be either
.Cm yes
or
.Cm no .
.It Sy origin
For cloned file systems or volumes, the snapshot from which the clone was
created. See also the
.Sy clones
property.
.It Sy referenced
The amount of data that is accessible by this dataset, which may or may not be
shared with other datasets in the pool. When a snapshot or clone is created, it
initially references the same amount of space as the file system or snapshot it
was created from, since its contents are identical.
.Pp
This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
.Sy refer .
.It Sy refcompressratio
The compression ratio achieved for the
.Sy referenced
space of this dataset, expressed as a multiplier.  See also the
.Sy compressratio
property.
.It Sy type
The type of dataset:
.Sy filesystem , volume , No or Sy snapshot .
.It Sy used
The amount of space consumed by this dataset and all its descendents. This is
the value that is checked against this dataset's quota and reservation. The
space used does not include this dataset's reservation, but does take into
account the reservations of any descendent datasets. The amount of space that a
dataset consumes from its parent, as well as the amount of space that are freed
if this dataset is recursively destroyed, is the greater of its space used and
its reservation.
.Pp
When snapshots (see the
.Qq Sx Snapshots
section) are created, their space is
initially shared between the snapshot and the file system, and possibly with
previous snapshots. As the file system changes, space that was previously
shared becomes unique to the snapshot, and counted in the snapshot's space
used. Additionally, deleting snapshots can increase the amount of space unique
to (and used by) other snapshots.
.Pp
The amount of space used, available, or referenced does not take into account
pending changes. Pending changes are generally accounted for within a few
seconds. Committing a change to a disk using
.Xr fsync 2
or
.Sy O_SYNC
does not necessarily guarantee that the space usage information is updated
immediately.
.It Sy usedby*
The
.Sy usedby*
properties decompose the
.Sy used
properties into the various reasons that space is used. Specifically,
.Sy used No =
.Sy usedbysnapshots + usedbydataset + usedbychildren + usedbyrefreservation .
These properties are only available for datasets created
with
.Tn ZFS
pool version 13 pools and higher.
.It Sy usedbysnapshots
The amount of space consumed by snapshots of this dataset. In particular, it is
the amount of space that would be freed if all of this dataset's snapshots were
destroyed. Note that this is not simply the sum of the snapshots'
.Sy used
properties because space can be shared by multiple snapshots.
.It Sy usedbydataset
The amount of space used by this dataset itself, which would be freed if the
dataset were destroyed (after first removing any
.Sy refreservation
and destroying any necessary snapshots or descendents).
.It Sy usedbychildren
The amount of space used by children of this dataset, which would be freed if
all the dataset's children were destroyed.
.It Sy usedbyrefreservation
The amount of space used by a
.Sy refreservation
set on this dataset, which would be freed if the
.Sy refreservation
was removed.
.It Sy userused@ Ns Ar user
The amount of space consumed by the specified user in this dataset. Space is
charged to the owner of each file, as displayed by
.Qq Nm ls Fl l .
The amount of space charged is displayed by
.Qq Nm du
and
.Qq Nm ls Fl s .
See the
.Qq Nm Cm userspace
subcommand for more information.
.Pp
Unprivileged users can access only their own space usage. The root user, or a
user who has been granted the
.Sy userused
privilege with
.Qq Nm Cm allow ,
can access everyone's usage.
.Pp
The
.Sy userused@ Ns ...
properties are not displayed by
.Qq Nm Cm get all .
The user's name must be appended after the
.Sy @
symbol, using one of the following forms:
.Bl -bullet -offset 2n
.It
POSIX name (for example,
.Em joe )
.It
POSIX numeric ID (for example,
.Em 1001 )
.El
.It Sy userrefs
This property is set to the number of user holds on this snapshot. User holds
are set by using the
.Qq Nm Cm hold
command.
.It Sy groupused@ Ns Ar group
The amount of space consumed by the specified group in this dataset. Space is
charged to the group of each file, as displayed by
.Nm ls Fl l .
See the
.Sy userused@ Ns Ar user
property for more information.
.Pp
Unprivileged users can only access their own groups' space usage. The root
user, or a user who has been granted the
.Sy groupused
privilege with
.Qq Nm Cm allow ,
can access all groups' usage.
.It Sy volblocksize Ns = Ns Ar blocksize
For volumes, specifies the block size of the volume. The
.Ar blocksize
cannot be changed once the volume has been written, so it should be set at
volume creation time. The default
.Ar blocksize
for volumes is 8 Kbytes. Any
power of 2 from 512 bytes to 128 Kbytes is valid.
.Pp
This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
.Sy volblock .
.It Sy written
The amount of
.Sy referenced
space written to this dataset since the previous snapshot.
.It Sy written@ Ns Ar snapshot
The amount of
.Sy referenced
space written to this dataset since the specified snapshot.  This is the space
that is referenced by this dataset but was not referenced by the specified
snapshot.
.Pp
The
.Ar snapshot
may be specified as a short snapshot name (just the part after the
.Sy @ ) ,
in which case it will be interpreted as a snapshot in the same filesystem as
this dataset. The
.Ar snapshot
may be a full snapshot name
.Pq Em filesystem@snapshot ,
which for clones may be a snapshot in the origin's filesystem (or the origin of
the origin's filesystem, etc).
.El
.Pp
The following native properties can be used to change the behavior of a
.Tn ZFS
dataset.
.Bl -tag -width 2n
.It Xo
.Sy aclinherit Ns = Ns Cm discard |
.Cm noallow |
.Cm restricted |
.Cm passthrough |
.Cm passthrough-x
.Xc
Controls how
.Tn ACL
entries are inherited when files and directories are created. A file system
with an
.Sy aclinherit
property of
.Cm discard
does not inherit any
.Tn ACL
entries. A file system with an
.Sy aclinherit
property value of
.Cm noallow
only inherits inheritable
.Tn ACL
entries that specify "deny" permissions. The property value
.Cm restricted
(the default) removes the
.Em write_acl
and
.Em write_owner
permissions when the
.Tn ACL
entry is inherited. A file system with an
.Sy aclinherit
property value of
.Cm passthrough
inherits all inheritable
.Tn ACL
entries without any modifications made to the
.Tn ACL
entries when they are inherited. A file system with an
.Sy aclinherit
property value of
.Cm passthrough-x
has the same meaning as
.Cm passthrough ,
except that the
.Em owner@ , group@ , No and Em everyone@ Tn ACE Ns s
inherit the execute permission only if the file creation mode also requests the
execute bit.
.Pp
When the property value is set to
.Cm passthrough ,
files are created with a mode determined by the inheritable
.Tn ACE Ns s.
If no inheritable
.Tn ACE Ns s
exist that affect the mode, then the mode is set in accordance to the requested
mode from the application.
.It Sy aclmode Ns = Ns Cm discard | groupmask | passthrough | restricted
Controls how an
.Tn ACL
is modified during
.Xr chmod 2 .
A file system with an
.Sy aclmode
property of
.Cm discard
(the default) deletes all
.Tn ACL
entries that do not represent the mode of the file. An
.Sy aclmode
property of
.Cm groupmask
reduces permissions granted in all
.Em ALLOW
entries found in the
.Tn ACL
such that they are no greater than the group permissions specified by
.Xr chmod 2 .
A file system with an
.Sy aclmode
property of
.Cm passthrough
indicates that no changes are made to the
.Tn ACL
other than creating or updating the necessary
.Tn ACL
entries to represent the new mode of the file or directory.
An
.Sy aclmode
property of
.Cm restricted
will cause the
.Xr chmod 2
operation to return an error when used on any file or directory which has
a non-trivial
.Tn ACL
whose entries can not be represented by a mode.
.Xr chmod 2
is required to change the set user ID, set group ID, or sticky bits on a file
or directory, as they do not have equivalent
.Tn ACL
entries.
In order to use
.Xr chmod 2
on a file or directory with a non-trivial
.Tn ACL
when
.Sy aclmode
is set to
.Cm restricted ,
you must first remove all
.Tn ACL
entries which do not represent the current mode.
.It Sy atime Ns = Ns Cm on | off
Controls whether the access time for files is updated when they are read.
Turning this property off avoids producing write traffic when reading files and
can result in significant performance gains, though it might confuse mailers
and other similar utilities. The default value is
.Cm on .
.It Sy canmount Ns = Ns Cm on | off | noauto
If this property is set to
.Cm off ,
the file system cannot be mounted, and is ignored by
.Qq Nm Cm mount Fl a .
Setting this property to
.Cm off
is similar to setting the
.Sy mountpoint
property to
.Cm none ,
except that the dataset still has a normal
.Sy mountpoint
property, which can be inherited. Setting this property to
.Cm off
allows datasets to be used solely as a mechanism to inherit properties. One
example of setting
.Sy canmount Ns = Ns Cm off
is to have two datasets with the same
.Sy mountpoint ,
so that the children of both datasets appear in the same directory, but might
have different inherited characteristics.
.Pp
When the
.Cm noauto
value is set, a dataset can only be mounted and unmounted explicitly. The
dataset is not mounted automatically when the dataset is created or imported,
nor is it mounted by the
.Qq Nm Cm mount Fl a
command or unmounted by the
.Qq Nm Cm umount Fl a
command.
.Pp
This property is not inherited.
.It Sy checksum Ns = Ns Cm on | off | fletcher2 | fletcher4 | sha256
Controls the checksum used to verify data integrity. The default value is
.Cm on ,
which automatically selects an appropriate algorithm (currently,
.Cm fletcher4 ,
but this may change in future releases). The value
.Cm off
disables integrity checking on user data. Disabling checksums is
.Em NOT
a recommended practice.
.It Sy compression Ns = Ns Cm on | off | lzjb | gzip | gzip- Ns Ar N | Cm zle
Controls the compression algorithm used for this dataset. The
.Cm lzjb
compression algorithm is optimized for performance while providing decent data
compression. Setting compression to
.Cm on
uses the
.Cm lzjb
compression algorithm. The
.Cm gzip
compression algorithm uses the same compression as the
.Xr gzip 1
command. You can specify the
.Cm gzip
level by using the value
.Cm gzip- Ns Ar N
where
.Ar N
is an integer from 1 (fastest) to 9 (best compression ratio). Currently,
.Cm gzip
is equivalent to
.Cm gzip-6
(which is also the default for
.Xr gzip 1 ) .
The
.Cm zle
compression algorithm compresses runs of zeros.
.Pp
This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name
.Cm compress .
Changing this property affects only newly-written data.
.It Sy copies Ns = Ns Cm 1 | 2 | 3
Controls the number of copies of data stored for this dataset. These copies are
in addition to any redundancy provided by the pool, for example, mirroring or
RAID-Z. The copies are stored on different disks, if possible. The space used
by multiple copies is charged to the associated file and dataset, changing the
.Sy used
property and counting against quotas and reservations.
.Pp
Changing this property only affects newly-written data. Therefore, set this
property at file system creation time by using the
.Fl o Cm copies= Ns Ar N
option.
.It Sy dedup Ns = Ns Cm on | off | verify | sha256 Ns Op Cm ,verify
Configures deduplication for a dataset. The default value is
.Cm off .
The default deduplication checksum is
.Cm sha256
(this may change in the future).
When
.Sy dedup
is enabled, the checksum defined here overrides the
.Sy checksum
property. Setting the value to
.Cm verify
has the same effect as the setting
.Cm sha256,verify .
.Pp
If set to
.Cm verify ,
.Tn ZFS
will do a byte-to-byte comparsion in case of two blocks having the same
signature to make sure the block contents are identical.
.It Sy devices Ns = Ns Cm on | off
The
.Sy devices
property is currently not supported on
.Fx .
.It Sy exec Ns = Ns Cm on | off
Controls whether processes can be executed from within this file system. The
default value is
.Cm on .
.It Sy mlslabel Ns = Ns Ar label | Cm none
The
.Sy mlslabel
property is currently not supported on
.Fx .
.It Sy mountpoint Ns = Ns Ar path | Cm none | legacy
Controls the mount point used for this file system. See the
.Qq Sx Mount Points
section for more information on how this property is used.
.Pp
When the
.Sy mountpoint
property is changed for a file system, the file system and any children that
inherit the mount point are unmounted. If the new value is
.Cm legacy ,
then they remain unmounted. Otherwise, they are automatically remounted in the
new location if the property was previously
.Cm legacy
or
.Cm none ,
or if they were mounted before the property was changed. In addition, any
shared file systems are unshared and shared in the new location.
.It Sy nbmand Ns = Ns Cm on | off
The
.Sy nbmand
property is currently not supported on
.Fx .
.It Sy primarycache Ns = Ns Cm all | none | metadata
Controls what is cached in the primary cache (ARC). If this property is set to
.Cm all ,
then both user data and metadata is cached. If this property is set to
.Cm none ,
then neither user data nor metadata is cached. If this property is set to
.Cm metadata ,
then only metadata is cached. The default value is
.Cm all .
.It Sy quota Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
Limits the amount of space a dataset and its descendents can consume. This
property enforces a hard limit on the amount of space used. This includes all
space consumed by descendents, including file systems and snapshots. Setting a
quota on a descendent of a dataset that already has a quota does not override
the ancestor's quota, but rather imposes an additional limit.
.Pp
Quotas cannot be set on volumes, as the
.Sy volsize
property acts as an implicit quota.
.It Sy userquota@ Ns Ar user Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
Limits the amount of space consumed by the specified user.
Similar to the
.Sy refquota
property, the
.Sy userquota
space calculation does not include space that is used by descendent datasets,
such as snapshots and clones. User space consumption is identified by the
.Sy userspace@ Ns Ar user
property.
.Pp
Enforcement of user quotas may be delayed by several seconds. This delay means
that a user might exceed their quota before the system notices that they are
over quota and begins to refuse additional writes with the
.Em EDQUOT
error message. See the
.Cm userspace
subcommand for more information.
.Pp
Unprivileged users can only access their own groups' space usage. The root
user, or a user who has been granted the
.Sy userquota
privilege with
.Qq Nm Cm allow ,
can get and set everyone's quota.
.Pp
This property is not available on volumes, on file systems before version 4, or
on pools before version 15. The
.Sy userquota@ Ns ...
properties are not displayed by
.Qq Nm Cm get all .
The user's name must be appended after the
.Sy @
symbol, using one of the following forms:
.Bl -bullet -offset 2n
.It
POSIX name (for example,
.Em joe )
.It
POSIX numeric ID (for example,
.Em 1001 )
.El
.It Sy groupquota@ Ns Ar group Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
Limits the amount of space consumed by the specified group. Group space
consumption is identified by the
.Sy userquota@ Ns Ar user
property.
.Pp
Unprivileged users can access only their own groups' space usage. The root
user, or a user who has been granted the
.Sy groupquota
privilege with
.Qq Nm Cm allow ,
can get and set all groups' quotas.
.It Sy readonly Ns = Ns Cm on | off
Controls whether this dataset can be modified. The default value is
.Cm off .
.It Sy recordsize Ns = Ns Ar size
Specifies a suggested block size for files in the file system. This property is
designed solely for use with database workloads that access files in fixed-size
records.
.Tn ZFS
automatically tunes block sizes according to internal algorithms optimized for
typical access patterns.
.Pp
For databases that create very large files but access them in small random
chunks, these algorithms may be suboptimal. Specifying a
.Sy recordsize
greater than or equal to the record size of the database can result in
significant performance gains. Use of this property for general purpose file
systems is strongly discouraged, and may adversely affect performance.
.Pp
The size specified must be a power of two greater than or equal to 512 and less
than or equal to 128 Kbytes.
.Pp
Changing the file system's
.Sy recordsize
affects only files created afterward; existing files are unaffected.
.Pp
This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
.Sy recsize .
.It Sy refquota Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
Limits the amount of space a dataset can consume. This property enforces a hard
limit on the amount of space used. This hard limit does not include space used
by descendents, including file systems and snapshots.
.It Sy refreservation Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
The minimum amount of space guaranteed to a dataset, not including its
descendents. When the amount of space used is below this value, the dataset is
treated as if it were taking up the amount of space specified by
.Sy refreservation .
The
.Sy refreservation
reservation is accounted for in the parent datasets' space used, and counts
against the parent datasets' quotas and reservations.
.Pp
If
.Sy refreservation
is set, a snapshot is only allowed if there is enough free pool space outside
of this reservation to accommodate the current number of "referenced" bytes in
the dataset.
.Pp
This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
.Sy refreserv .
.It Sy reservation Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
The minimum amount of space guaranteed to a dataset and its descendents. When
the amount of space used is below this value, the dataset is treated as if it
were taking up the amount of space specified by its reservation. Reservations
are accounted for in the parent datasets' space used, and count against the
parent datasets' quotas and reservations.
.Pp
This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
.Sy reserv .
.It Sy secondarycache Ns = Ns Cm all | none | metadata
Controls what is cached in the secondary cache (L2ARC). If this property is set
to
.Cm all ,
then both user data and metadata is cached. If this property is set to
.Cm none ,
then neither user data nor metadata is cached. If this property is set to
.Cm metadata ,
then only metadata is cached. The default value is
.Cm all .
.It Sy setuid Ns = Ns Cm on | off
Controls whether the
.No set- Ns Tn UID
bit is respected for the file system. The default value is
.Cm on .
.It Sy sharesmb Ns = Ns Cm on | off | Ar opts
The
.Sy sharesmb
property currently has no effect on
.Fx .
.It Sy sharenfs Ns = Ns Cm on | off | Ar opts
Controls whether the file system is shared via
.Tn NFS ,
and what options are used. A file system with a
.Sy sharenfs
property of
.Cm off
is managed the traditional way via
.Xr exports 5 .
Otherwise, the file system is automatically shared and unshared with the
.Qq Nm Cm share
and
.Qq Nm Cm unshare
commands. If the property is set to
.Cm on
no
.Tn NFS
export options are used. Otherwise,
.Tn NFS
export options are equivalent to the contents of this property. The export
options may be comma-separated. See
.Xr exports 5
for a list of valid options.
.Pp
When the
.Sy sharenfs
property is changed for a dataset, the
.Xr mountd 8
dameon is reloaded.
.It Sy logbias Ns = Ns Cm latency | throughput
Provide a hint to
.Tn ZFS
about handling of synchronous requests in this dataset.
If
.Sy logbias
is set to
.Cm latency
(the default),
.Tn ZFS
will use pool log devices (if configured) to handle the requests at low
latency. If
.Sy logbias
is set to
.Cm throughput ,
.Tn ZFS
will not use configured pool log devices.
.Tn ZFS
will instead optimize synchronous operations for global pool throughput and
efficient use of resources.
.It Sy snapdir Ns = Ns Cm hidden | visible
Controls whether the
.Pa \&.zfs
directory is hidden or visible in the root of the file system as discussed in
the
.Qq Sx Snapshots
section. The default value is
.Cm hidden .
.It Sy sync Ns = Ns Cm standard | always | disabled
Controls the behavior of synchronous requests (e.g.
.Xr fsync 2 ,
O_DSYNC). This property accepts the following values:
.Bl -tag -offset 4n -width 8n
.It Sy standard
This is the POSIX specified behavior of ensuring all synchronous requests are
written to stable storage and all devices are flushed to ensure data is not
cached by device controllers (this is the default).
.It Sy always
All file system transactions are written and flushed before their system calls
return. This has a large performance penalty.
.It Sy disabled
Disables synchronous requests. File system transactions are only committed to
stable storage periodically. This option will give the highest performance.
However, it is very dangerous as
.Tn ZFS
would be ignoring the synchronous transaction demands of applications such as
databases or
.Tn NFS .
Administrators should only use this option when the risks are understood.
.El
.It Sy volsize Ns = Ns Ar size
For volumes, specifies the logical size of the volume. By default, creating a
volume establishes a reservation of equal size. For storage pools with a
version number of 9 or higher, a
.Sy refreservation
is set instead. Any changes to
.Sy volsize
are reflected in an equivalent change to the reservation (or
.Sy refreservation ) .
The
.Sy volsize
can only be set to a multiple of
.Cm volblocksize ,
and cannot be zero.
.Pp
The reservation is kept equal to the volume's logical size to prevent
unexpected behavior for consumers. Without the reservation, the volume could
run out of space, resulting in undefined behavior or data corruption, depending
on how the volume is used. These effects can also occur when the volume size is
changed while it is in use (particularly when shrinking the size). Extreme care
should be used when adjusting the volume size.
.Pp
Though not recommended, a "sparse volume" (also known as "thin provisioning")
can be created by specifying the
.Fl s
option to the
.Qq Nm Cm create Fl V
command, or by changing the reservation after the volume has been created. A
"sparse volume" is a volume where the reservation is less then the volume size.
Consequently, writes to a sparse volume can fail with
.Sy ENOSPC
when the pool is low on space. For a sparse volume, changes to
.Sy volsize
are not reflected in the reservation.
.It Sy vscan Ns = Ns Cm off | on
The
.Sy vscan
property is currently not supported on
.Fx .
.It Sy xattr Ns = Ns Cm off | on
The
.Sy xattr
property is currently not supported on
.Fx .
.It Sy jailed Ns = Ns Cm off | on
Controls whether the dataset is managed from a jail. See the
.Qq Sx Jails
section for more information. The default value is
.Cm off .
.El
.Pp
The following three properties cannot be changed after the file system is
created, and therefore, should be set when the file system is created. If the
properties are not set with the
.Qq Nm Cm create
or
.Nm zpool Cm create
commands, these properties are inherited from the parent dataset. If the parent
dataset lacks these properties due to having been created prior to these
features being supported, the new file system will have the default values for
these properties.
.Bl -tag -width 4n
.It Sy casesensitivity Ns = Ns Cm sensitive | insensitive | mixed
The
.Sy casesensitivity
property is currently not supported on
.Fx .
.It Sy normalization Ns = Ns Cm none | formC | formD | formKC | formKD
Indicates whether the file system should perform a
.Sy unicode
normalization of file names whenever two file names are compared, and which
normalization algorithm should be used. File names are always stored
unmodified, names are normalized as part of any comparison process. If this
property is set to a legal value other than
.Cm none ,
and the
.Sy utf8only
property was left unspecified, the
.Sy utf8only
property is automatically set to
.Cm on .
The default value of the
.Sy normalization
property is
.Cm none .
This property cannot be changed after the file system is created.
.It Sy utf8only Ns = Ns Cm on | off
Indicates whether the file system should reject file names that include
characters that are not present in the
.Sy UTF-8
character code set. If this property is explicitly set to
.Cm off ,
the normalization property must either not be explicitly set or be set to
.Cm none .
The default value for the
.Sy utf8only
property is
.Cm off .
This property cannot be changed after the file system is created.
.El
.Pp
The
.Sy casesensitivity , normalization , No and Sy utf8only
properties are also new permissions that can be assigned to non-privileged
users by using the
.Tn ZFS
delegated administration feature.
.Ss Temporary Mount Point Properties
When a file system is mounted, either through
.Xr mount 8
for legacy mounts or the
.Qq Nm Cm mount
command for normal file systems, its mount options are set according to its
properties. The correlation between properties and mount options is as follows:
.Bl -column -offset 4n "PROPERTY" "MOUNT OPTION"
.It "PROPERTY	MOUNT OPTION"
.It "atime	atime/noatime"
.It "exec	exec/noexec"
.It "readonly	ro/rw"
.It "setuid	suid/nosuid"
.El
.Pp
In addition, these options can be set on a per-mount basis using the
.Fl o
option, without affecting the property that is stored on disk. The values
specified on the command line override the values stored in the dataset. These
properties are reported as "temporary" by the
.Qq Nm Cm get
command. If the properties are changed while the dataset is mounted, the new
setting overrides any temporary settings.
.Ss User Properties
In addition to the standard native properties,
.Tn ZFS
supports arbitrary user properties. User properties have no effect on
.Tn ZFS
behavior, but applications or administrators can use them to annotate datasets
(file systems, volumes, and snapshots).
.Pp
User property names must contain a colon
.Pq Sy \&:
character to distinguish them from native properties. They may contain
lowercase letters, numbers, and the following punctuation characters: colon
.Pq Sy \&: ,
dash
.Pq Sy \&- ,
period
.Pq Sy \&.
and underscore
.Pq Sy \&_ .
The expected convention is that the property name is divided into two portions
such as
.Em module Ns Sy \&: Ns Em property ,
but this namespace is not enforced by
.Tn ZFS .
User property names can be at most 256 characters, and cannot begin with a dash
.Pq Sy \&- .
.Pp
When making programmatic use of user properties, it is strongly suggested to
use a reversed
.Tn DNS
domain name for the
.Ar module
component of property names to reduce the chance that two
independently-developed packages use the same property name for different
purposes. Property names beginning with
.Em com.sun
are reserved for use by Sun Microsystems.
.Pp
The values of user properties are arbitrary strings, are always inherited, and
are never validated. All of the commands that operate on properties
.Po
.Qq Nm Cm list ,
.Qq Nm Cm get ,
.Qq Nm Cm set
and so forth
.Pc
can be used to manipulate both native properties and user properties. Use the
.Qq Nm Cm inherit
command to clear a user property. If the property is not defined in any parent
dataset, it is removed entirely. Property values are limited to 1024
characters.
.Sh SUBCOMMANDS
All subcommands that modify state are logged persistently to the pool in their
original form.

Creates a volume of the given size. The volume is exported as a block device in
.Pa /dev/zvol/path ,
where
.Ar path
is the name of the volume in the
.Tn ZFS
namespace. The size represents the logical size as exported by the device. By
default, a reservation of equal size is created.
.Pp
.Ar size
is automatically rounded up to the nearest 128 Kbytes to ensure that
the volume has an integral number of blocks regardless of
.Ar blocksize .
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl p

option would have destroyed it. Such immediate destruction would occur, for
example, if the snapshot had no clones and the user-initiated reference count
were zero.
.Pp
If a snapshot does not qualify for immediate destruction, it is marked for
deferred deletion. In this state, it exists as a usable, visible snapshot until
both of the preconditions listed above are met, at which point it is destroyed.
.Pp
An inclusive range of snapshots may be specified by separating the
first and last snapshots with a percent sign
.Pq Sy % .
The first and/or last snapshots may be left blank, in which case the
filesystem's oldest or newest snapshot will be implied.
.Pp
Multiple snapshots
(or ranges of snapshots) of the same filesystem or volume may be specified
in a comma-separated list of snapshots.
Only the snapshot's short name (the

.Pp
Roll back the given dataset to a previous snapshot. When a dataset is rolled
back, all data that has changed since the snapshot is discarded, and the
dataset reverts to the state at the time of the snapshot. By default, the
command refuses to roll back to a snapshot other than the most recent one. In
order to do so, all intermediate snapshots must be destroyed by specifying the
.Fl r
option.

.Nm
.Cm promote
.Ar clone-filesystem
.Xc
.Pp
Promotes a clone file system to no longer be dependent on its "origin"
snapshot. This makes it possible to destroy the file system that the clone was
created from. The clone parent-child dependency relationship is reversed, so
that the origin file system becomes a clone of the specified file system.
.Pp
The snapshot that was cloned, and any snapshots previous to this snapshot, are
now owned by the promoted clone. The space they use moves from the origin file
system to the promoted clone, so enough space must be available to accommodate
these snapshots. No new space is consumed by this operation, but the space
accounting is adjusted. The promoted clone must not have any conflicting
snapshot names of its own. The

.Op Fl i Ar snapshot | Fl I Ar snapshot
.Ar snapshot
.Xc
.Pp
Creates a stream representation of the last
.Ar snapshot
argument (not part of
.Fl i
or
.Fl I )
which is written to standard output. The output can be redirected to
a file or to a different system (for example, using
.Xr ssh 1 ) .
By default, a full stream is generated.
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl i Ar snapshot
Generate an incremental stream from the
.Fl i Ar snapshot
to the last
.Ar snapshot .
The incremental source (the
.Fl i Ar snapshot )
can be specified as the last component of the snapshot name (for example, the
part after the
.Sy @ ) ,
and it is assumed to be from the same file system as the last
.Ar snapshot .
.Pp
If the destination is a clone, the source may be the origin snapshot, which
must be fully specified (for example,
.Cm pool/fs@origin ,
not just
.Cm @origin ) .
.It Fl I Ar snapshot
Generate a stream package that sends all intermediary snapshots from the
.Fl I Ar snapshot
to the last
.Ar snapshot .
For example,
.Ic -I @a fs@d
is similar to
.Ic -i @a fs@b; -i @b fs@c; -i @c fs@d .
The incremental source snapshot may be specified as with the
.Fl i
option.
.It Fl R
Generate a replication stream package, which will replicate the specified
filesystem, and all descendent file systems, up to the named snapshot. When
received, all properties, snapshots, descendent file systems, and clones are
preserved.
.Pp
If the
.Fl i
or
.Fl I
flags are used in conjunction with the
.Fl R
flag, an incremental replication stream is generated. The current values of
properties, and current snapshot and file system names are set when the stream
is received. If the
.Fl F
flag is specified when this stream is received, snapshots and file systems that
do not exist on the sending side are destroyed.
.It Fl D
Generate a deduplicated stream. Blocks which would have been sent multiple
times in the send stream will only be sent once.  The receiving system must
also support this feature to receive a deduplicated stream.  This flag can
be used regardless of the dataset's
.Sy dedup
property, but performance will be much better if the filesystem uses a
dedup-capable checksum (eg.
.Sy sha256 ) .
.It Fl p
Include the dataset's properties in the stream. This flag is implicit when
.Fl R
is specified. The receiving system must also support this feature.
.It Fl n
Do a dry-run ("No-op") send.  Do not generate any actual send data.  This is
useful in conjunction with the
.Fl v
or
.Fl P
flags to determine what data will be sent.
.It Fl P
Print machine-parsable verbose information about the stream package generated.
.It Fl v
Print verbose information about the stream package generated.
This information includes a per-second report of how much data has been sent.
.El
.Pp
The format of the stream is committed. You will be able to receive your streams
on future versions of
.Tn ZFS .

.Ar filesystem
.Xc
.Pp
Creates a snapshot whose contents are as specified in the stream provided on
standard input. If a full stream is received, then a new file system is created
as well. Streams are created using the
.Qq Nm Cm send
subcommand, which by default creates a full stream.
.Qq Nm Cm recv
can be used as an alias for
.Qq Nm Cm receive .
.Pp
If an incremental stream is received, then the destination file system must
already exist, and its most recent snapshot must match the incremental stream's
source. For
.Sy zvol Ns s,
the destination device link is destroyed and recreated, which means the
.Sy zvol
cannot be accessed during the
.Sy receive
operation.
.Pp
When a snapshot replication package stream that is generated by using the
.Qq Nm Cm send Fl R
command is received, any snapshots that do not exist on the sending location
are destroyed by using the
.Qq Nm Cm destroy Fl d
command.
.Pp
The name of the snapshot (and file system, if a full stream is received) that
this subcommand creates depends on the argument type and the
.Fl d
or
.Fl e
option.
.Pp
If the argument is a snapshot name, the specified
.Ar snapshot
is created. If the argument is a file system or volume name, a snapshot with
the same name as the sent snapshot is created within the specified
.Ar filesystem
or
.Ar volume .
If the
.Fl d
or
.Fl e
option is specified, the snapshot name is determined by appending the sent
snapshot's name to the specified
.Ar filesystem .
If the
.Fl d
option is specified, all but the pool name of the sent snapshot path is
appended (for example,
.Sy b/c@1
appended from sent snapshot
.Sy a/b/c@1 ) ,
and if the
.Fl e
option is specified, only the tail of the sent snapshot path is appended (for
example,
.Sy c@1
appended from sent snapshot
.Sy a/b/c@1 ) .
In the case of
.Fl d ,
any file systems needed to replicate the path of the sent snapshot are created
within the specified file system.
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl d
Use the full sent snapshot path without the first element (without pool name)
to determine the name of the new snapshot as described in the paragraph above.
.It Fl e
Use only the last element of the sent snapshot path to determine the name of
the new snapshot as described in the paragraph above.
.It Fl u
File system that is associated with the received stream is not mounted.
.It Fl v
Print verbose information about the stream and the time required to perform the
receive operation.
.It Fl n
Do not actually receive the stream. This can be useful in conjunction with the
.Fl v
option to verify the name the receive operation would use.
.It Fl F
Force a rollback of the file system to the most recent snapshot before
performing the receive operation. If receiving an incremental replication
stream (for example, one generated by
.Qq Nm Cm send Fl R Fi iI ) ,
destroy snapshots and file systems that do not exist on the sending side.
